Osmium is the 1970 debut album by the funk band Parliament, led by George Clinton. The album has a sound that is more similar to Funkadelic than other Parliament releases.

The 'yodeling' that arguably uniquely identifies one of De La Soul's early hits, "Potholes In My Lawn" (which eventually appeared on De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising), comes from this album's Little Old Country Boy. The original vinyl release contained a glossy lyric sheet.

  1. "I Call My Baby Pussycat" (George Clinton, Eddie Hazel, Billy "Bass" Nelson) – 4:24
  2. "Put Love in Your Life" (Clinton, Vivian Lewis) – 5:07
  3. "Little Old Country Boy" (Ruth Copeland) – 3:58
  4. "Moonshine Heather" (Clinton) – 4:05
  5. "Oh Lord, Why Lord/Prayer" (Copeland, P. Trim, based on Pachelbel's Canon) – 5:00
  6. "My Automobile" (Clinton, Clarence "Fuzzy" Haskins) – 4:45
  7. "There Is Nothing Before Me But Thang" (Clinton, Bobby Harris, Hazel, Bernie Worrell) – 3:56
  8. "Funky Woman" (Clinton, Worrell) – 2:56
